ROSES TO DREAM ABOUT 



{not illustrated) Hybrid Tea. (Lammerts.) 

 Plant Pat. 2755. A fine phlox-pink Hybrid 

 f®^ Tea rose, elegant and bright. Its flowers attain a 

 ^^ diameter of 5 inches and the color is remarkably clear. 

 The graceful, urn-shaped buds, especially attractive in the 

 quarter-open stage, unfold gradually to 35 to 40-petaled 

 blooms of firm substance. The large flowers are produced 

 freely on long, sturdy stems and will enchant you with their 

 penetrating fragrance. Bewitched is excellent for cutting, 

 with its beautiful clear bloom, its spicy fragrance and long 

 stems. The plant has the typical Hybrid Tea branching 

 habit, with heavy foliage that is glossy and quite resistant 

 to mildew. It blooms freely and continuously all season. 

 This new rose promises to earn and deserve a prominent 

 place in gardens, for its good lasting color is appreciated 

 both indoors and out. 



$3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.10 ea. 



Why We Can Make 

 Our Star Rose Guarantee 



Roses are our business, and because we are 

 convinced that the plants we raise are second 

 to none in quality we can guarantee them to 

 grow and bloom for one growing season; 

 otherwise we will replace them or refund the 

 purchase price. This is a generous offer, 

 and the control we hold over our rose grow- 

 ing operations is what makes this guarantee possible. At 

 every step we are most particular, from meticulous prepara- 

 tion of the soil to the final step of packaging and shipping. 

 Selection of understock,, expert budding, regular cultivation 

 and spraying of the plants in the field, rigid grading and 

 storing are equally important. All add up to a quality prod- 

 uct . . . Star Roses. 



Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meil- 

 land.) Plant Pat. 1943. This is a rich, 

 exciting rose with high style to match its name. Mag- 

 nificent crimson-red overlaid with an iridescent scarlet 

 plus exquisite form make Christian Dior a superb rose. 

 The beautiful color becomes even more glowing when seen 

 under artificial lights, and this characteristic combined with 

 its assured air of excellence gives it special value as a cut 

 flower. The 50 to 60 neatly arranged petals form a solidly 

 substantial flower of top exhibition quality that is very long 

 lasting. Buds are ovoid, and fragrance is delicate. A bushy, 

 vigorous, tall, upright plant. Christian Dior has good rich 

 green, leathery leaves, and plenty of them. Bloom produc- 

 tion is steady and continuous throughout the season. A 

 favorite for both garden and cutting because the color 

 holds so well all season.
